The film is divided into upper and lower parts, and a notch extending from top to bottom is arranged at the middle part, and the notch penetrates the side wall of the film;

[0063] Installation of the conductivity sensor: the conductivity sensor is located in the interior of the ore pulp container and is inserted into the container through the notch to directly contact with the ore pulp. The sensor is connected with the top of the container through threads, ensuring firm installation and sealing. The top of the sensor is provided with a cover body, and the inner side wall of the cover body is provided with a thread recess adapted to the thread protrusion on the top of the ore pulp container, ensuring the tightness of the connection;

[0064] Fixing and protection of the film: the material of the film is polytetrafluoroethylene film, and the side close to the inner wall of the container is coated with epoxy resin adhesive, which is used for firmly pasting the film on the inner wall of the container to prevent ore pulp leakage or seepage. The bottom of the film is provided with an arched tear handle for conveniently replacing the film;

[0065] Loading and measuring of the ore pulp: loading of the ore pulp: the ore pulp is poured into the container through the upper opening of the ore pulp container.

[0066] Conductivity measurement: the conductivity sensor is inserted into the ore pulp and directly contacts with the ore pulp through the notch. The sensor measures the conductivity of the ore pulp in real time and transmits the signal to the external measuring device or control system.

[0068] Maintenance and replacement of the device: Replace the film: When the film needs to be replaced due to wear or corrosion, tear the film off the inner wall of the container by pulling the handle. Since the film is divided into upper and lower parts, and the gap runs through the side wall of the film, the replacement process is simple and fast, and it will not be difficult to operate due to the overall adhesion;

[0069] Cleaning and maintenance: Since the film closely matches the inner wall of the container, slurry is less likely to accumulate between the film and the container, making the cleaning process easier. After replacing the film, the container can be cleaned to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the device;

[0070] Maintenance of the sensor: The conductivity sensor is fixed to the top of the container by screw connection, which is convenient for disassembly and replacement. The maintenance of the sensor includes regular calibration and cleaning to ensure the accuracy of the measurement.
